Rebecca Smith

I am a Family Nurse Practitioner specializing in Obesity Medicine and Weight Management at Open Minds. I am dedicated to providing compassionate, holistic, patient centered, evidence-based care for individuals seeking to improve their health, wellness, and relationship with their body.

I understand that weight is influenced by complex factors—including metabolism, hormones, stress, medical history, emotional health, lifestyle patterns, and life experiences. I approach weight management as a medical condition rather than a personal failing, offering personalized treatment plans that honor each individual’s story, goals, and strengths.

My practice includes comprehensive health assessments, metabolic screening, nutrition and lifestyle guidance, medication-assisted weight management (including FDA-approved therapies), and ongoing support designed to empower patients throughout their journey. My philosophy centers around partnership: listening deeply, educating clearly, and walking alongside patients with encouragement and respect. As both a clinician and wellness advocate, I am passionate about helping patients gain confidence, improve energy, reduce health risks, and experience sustainable, meaningful change—not just temporary results. At Open Minds, my mission is to create a supportive environment where patients feel seen, valued, and capable of success. I welcome individuals at any stage of their journey and believe it is never too early or too late to begin caring for yourself in a new way.

I hope they leave with a deeper understanding of their body, their health, and what wellness looks like for them. I want them to feel grounded in their goals and supported in making sustainable, meaningful changes that honor their whole self—mind, body, and spirit.

Truly getting to know my patients—their stories, strengths, struggles, and goals. It means a lot to me to create a space where people feel seen, understood, and supported. Seeing someone start to feel better in their own body and mind, and knowing I had a small part in that, is incredibly meaningful to me.
